The world admins are some of the most garbage people on the whole fediverse.

ACAB includes mods. These jobs attract the kind of reddit/lemmy users who want to have power over a petty fiefdom and abuse it. Good mods only get shamed for ridiculous reasons like “Wouldn’t let me be transphobic” and “enforced the rules”. Bad mods get shame they deserve. Mods get paid in power over others, and as an anarchist, I personally seek to ensure that power is constantly questioned, and abolished if it’s abused.

I say all this as the owner of a sublemmy, and I expect to be held to the same standard.

Thank you

Didn’t he get 34 counts of election fraud? Election fraud seems threatening to the USA.

Yeah, I really hope Biden wins. I don’t want my American partners to be genocided.

I think we should be getting people excited about social technologies, and using the symbols of mainstream technology hype is a good idea. Symbols tell people how to feel. If we use techbro Steve Jobs presentation symbols to advertise walkable design to techbros, maybe people will get hype for walkability. I know I’m hype for walkability.

Richard Dawkins sure is a religious atheist. Religion is about a lot more than just theism. It can be a system of spiritual, philosophical, cultural, and/or moral beliefs. There are plenty of religions that have little to nothing to do with gods. For example, Buddhism. There are plenty of Buddhist atheists.

I think that innovative forms of policy are technologies. If chemistry can have chemical engineers that implement chemical technologies, then political science should have civil engineers who implement political technologies.

My background is in chaos magick, where we refer to our magic spells as techs all the time. And this approach isn’t novel. Psychologists consider things like meditation or applications of the placebo effect technologies. I mean, the brain is a thinking machine just like a computer, and we consider software technologies such as websites and applications to be technologies. Psychological technology is software for a brain, and political technology is software for a society.

I think gardening is a technology, even though it’s just a different way of treating seeds that already exist. Sewing is a technology, the written word is a technology, money is a technology. And words and money exist only inside our heads.

We should be getting techbros excited about actually useful technologies instead of their AI crypto bullshit. I’m a techbro for magic spells and bicycles! There should be political hype over social technologies.

Very hard to believe you’re an atheist when you go around charitably reinterpreting words like the most racist megapastors.

We should be using the term correctly so that people learn to read it correctly. Otherwise we’ll have a society of people who think technology is whatever Elon Musk is up to, and that’s no good at all.

Economic systems are technologies.

You backpedalled the opposite of that. After realising you’d gone too far.

There’s a second season? Huh.

I like that it proved Hank Pym is the scariest motherfucker in Marvel comics.

I don’t think it’s a strawman of degrowthers. I think green shirt is supposed to be an ecofascist. He’s talking like an ecofascist, and being made fun of with the arguments that work on ecofascists.

I think green shirt’s statement is a dogwhistle. I don’t think someone advocating degrowth would have used the same words. As a supporter of degrowth myself, I don’t think degrowth means the same thing as “reducing living standards”. For example I don’t own a car, and I’m happier riding a bike every day. Less growth increased my standard of living. I’m also vegan, and I rarely miss meat. I prefer the lack of guilt over the taste of meat. So I don’t think my standard of living is any lower for having abandoned my reliance on animal subjugation and excessive land and water use. I don’t think degrowth has to mean giving up the internet, or clean drinking water, or medicine, or many of the actual benefits of living in a developed nation.

Cops don’t care about solving crimes!

Flying Squid told me I had psychosis because I disagreed with their views on religion. They’re an asshole.
